iPad 2Environmental Report
Apple and the Environment
Apple believes that improving the environmental performance of
our business
starts with our products. The careful environmental management
of our productsthroughout their life cycles includes controlling
the quantity and types of materialsused in their manufacture,
improving their energy efficiency, and designing them forbetter
recyclability. The information below details the environmental
performanceof iPad 2 as it relates to climate change, energy
efficiency, material efficiency, andrestricted substances.
Climate Change
Greenhouse gas emissions have an impact on the planets balance
of land, ocean,and air temperature. Most of Apples corporate
greenhouse gas emissions come fromthe production, transport, use,
and recycling of its products. Apple seeks to minimize
greenhouse gas emissions by setting stringent design-related
goals for material andenergy efficiency. The chart below provides
the estimated life-cycle greenhouse gasemissions for iPad 2.

Energy Efficiency
iPad 2 uses power-efficient components and software that
intelligently managespower consumption. In addition, the iPad 10W
USB Power Adapter outperforms thestringent requirements of the
ENERGY STAR specification for external power supplies.The following
table details the power consumed by iPad 2 in different use
modes.

Material Efficiency
Apples ultracompact product and packaging designs lead the
industry in materialefficiency. Reducing the material footprint of
a product helps maximize shippingefficiency. It also helps reduce
energy consumed during production and material wastegenerated at
the end of the products life. iPad is made of aluminum and other
materialshighly desired by recyclers. In addition, iPad 2 is even
more material efficient than theoriginal iPad, consuming up to 18
percent less material. The chart below details thematerials used
for iPad 2.
Material Use for iPad 2 (Wi-Fi + 3G)
Packaging
The packaging for iPad 2 is highly recyclable. It uses
corrugated cardboard made from aminimum of 28 percent post-consumer
recycled content, and molded fiber made entirelyfrom recycled
content. In addition, its packaging is extremely material
efficient, allowingup to 38 percent more units to be transported in
an airline shipping container comparedwith the original iPad. The
following table details the materials used in iPad 2 packaging.
Packaging Breakdown for iPad 2 (U.S. Configurations)
Material Retail boxRetail andshipping box
Paper (corrugate, molded fiber) 205g 492g
High-impact polystyrene 68g 68g
Other plastics 9g 9g
Restricted Substances
Apple has long taken a leadership role in restricting harmful
substances from itsproducts and packaging. As part of this
strategy, all Apple products comply with thestrict European
Directive on the Restriction of the Use of Certain Hazardous
Substancesin Electrical and Electronic Equipment, also known as the
RoHS Directive. Examples of materials restricted by RoHS include
lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium,and PBB and PBDE
brominated flame retardants (BFRs). iPad 2 goes even further
than
the requirements of the RoHS Directive by incorporating the
following more aggressiverestrictions:
Mercury-free LED-backlit display
Arsenic-free display glass
Brominated flame retardant (BFR) free
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)free

iPad 2 retail packaging consumes 51 percentless material and
allows up to 38 percent moreunits to fit in each airline shipping
containerthan the original iPad.

Recycling
Through ultra-efficient design and use of highly recyclable
materials, Apple hasminimized material waste at the products end of
life. In addition, Apple offers andparticipates in various product
take-back and recycling programs in 95 percent of theregions where
Apple products are sold. All products are processed in the country
orregion in which they are collected. For more information on how
to take advantageof these programs, visit

De nitions
Greenhouse gas emissions: Estimated emissions are calculated in
accordance withguidelines and requirements as specified by ISO
14040 and ISO 14044. Calculationincludes emissions from the
following life-cycle phases contributing to Global WarmingPotential
(GWP 100 years) in CO 2 equivalency factors (CO 2e):
Production: Includes the extraction, production, and transport
of raw materials andthe manufacture of the product, as well as
product packaging.
Transport: Includes air and sea transportation of the finished
product and itsassociated packaging from the manufacturing site to
continental distribution hubs.Transport of products from
distribution hubs to the end customer is not included.
Customer use: End-user power consumption assumes a three-year
period. Productuse scenarios are modeled on data that reflects
intensive daily use of the product.Geographic differences in the
power grid mix have been accounted for at acontinental level.
Recycling: Includes transportation from collection hubs to
recycling centers, and theenergy used in mechanical separation and
shredding of parts.
Energy-efficiency terms: The energy-efficiency values for the
iPad 10W USB PowerAdapter are based on the ENERGY STAR Program
Requirements for Single VoltageExternal AC-DC and AC-AC Power
Supplies Version 2.0. For more information
visitwww.energystar.gov.
Sleep: Low power state that is entered automatically after 2
minutes of inactivity(default), or by pressing the Sleep/Wake
button. Tested with a fully charged battery
and powered by the iPad 10W USB Power Adapter. Connected to
Wi-Fi and 3Gnetworks. All other settings were left in their default
state.
Idle Display on: iPad 2 is on and at the Home screen. Tested
with a fully chargedbattery and powered by the iPad 10W USB Power
Adapter. Display brightness was leftat its default state, except
Auto-Brightness was turned off. Connected to Wi-Fi and 3Gnetworks.
All other settings were left in their default state.
Power adapter, no-load: Condition in which the iPad 10W USB
Power Adapter isconnected to AC power, but not connected to iPad
2.
Power adapter efficiency: Average of the iPad 10W USB Power
Adapters measuredefficiency when tested at 100 percent, 75 percent,
50 percent, and 25 percent of thepower adapters rated output
current.
Restricted substances: Apple defines a material as BFR-free and
PVC-free if it containsless than 900 parts per million (ppm) of
bromine and of chlorine.
